...The rest of the disturbances have phase speeds faster than AEWs, but are similar to the estimated phase speeds of organized convection observed over northern Africa (Fink et al....

...In turn, AEWs are an important element to creating a favorable environment of enhanced low-level convergence, rising motion, and adequate lowlevel moisture content that localized convective cells can become better organized within, and in some instances, develop into MCSs (Reed et al....

...A strong relationship between MCSs and mid-tropospheric AEWs also exists....

...That slower disturbance has a zonal phase speed typically associated with 6–9 day AEWs (Diedhiou et al. 1999; Wu et al. 2013)....

...1999; Fink and Reiner 2003) that indicate climatologically, AEWs occur both on the equatorward and poleward flanks of the AEJ, which is centered between 12°N−15°N in August....
